Our friends have made this for us several times. It is amazing! Today was our first day attempting it ourselves.

Thai Grilled Beef Salad with Chilies and Lime

Ingredients:
2 pounds boneless beef steak, marinated then grilled then cut into thin bite-size slices
1/3 cup chicken broth
1/4 fish sauce
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 to ½ cup water
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon coarsely ground dried Thai chilies
2 Tablespoons finely chopped shallots
3 green onions, thinly sliced crosswise
1 handful fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
1-2 Tablespoons roasted rice powder

Sticky Rice (see recipe below this post)

Steak Marinade (per pound of steak):
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 Tablespoon fish sauce
2 teaspoons sugar

Roasted Rice Powder:
2 Tablespoons uncooked Jasmine rice

Directions:
1. Steak Marinade:
Mix ingredients in shallow bowl or ziplock bag. Marinate steak, turning as needed, for 1-3 hours before grilling.

2. Roasted Rice Powder:
Roast in skillet over medium high heat until lightly browned. Crush Thai style with mortar and pestle or in a processor or spice grinder (should be very coarse, not a fine powder by any means.)

Instructions:
In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a gentle boil over medium high heat. Add the grilled and sliced beef and stir to warm. Remove from heat. Add the fish sauce, lime juice, water, sugar, chili flakes, shallots, green onions, cilantro and rice powder. Mix well. Serve on a deep serving plate. Eat with sticky rice. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Serves 4 to 6
